GH50: Discussion for the month of July...

[dragonflies]

and you're pressed about this why exactly?He did nothing for years but lick Natalie's boots as did everyone once she became a Buke & Jessica de-Buke'd

Are we watching the same GH? Silas is one of the few that doesn't lick Sam's boots

[DRW50]

John had quite a bit of story outside of Natalie, although it's moot now anyway, as the character is in the trashbin.

[Vee]

Whereas I thought Natalie was pretty much [!@#$%^&*] on to glorify John for almost the sum total of the relationship. Different strokes.

All of it awful.

This is not to say his stories with Natalie weren't too, because oh my God, they were. It was just all uniformly terrible, because ultimately John was not a strong or layered character who could support so much heavy story piled onto his shoulders. He was a cipher. He had the illusion of layers, not the real thing.

[EricMontreal22]

What about John's glorious cruise ship singing mother? She was a gem.

[Vee]

I wanted to kill both versions, but especially the first one that was like the specter of Death.

[Eric83]

Watched today to see "Jason" this show has dissolved into bad fan fiction.

[marceline]

Not the trashbin, the TARDIS. John is The Doctor's new companion. I hear that he and Harkness are going at it hot and heavy.

(Craving Carl's approval of my ever-increasing Doctor Who fandom.)

[Vee]

I was touched that they had that photo of Steve up in the conference room or break room or whatever, really I was, and that they acknowledged the anniversary of his death. But its placement and framing, etc. just made it look like it was in a Howard Johnson's.

Worst Companion Ever.

[AlexElizabeth]

[Vee]

Oh, come on.

[DRW50]

That's actually a good pairing - Jack loves the broody guys.

In this universe, there are no Weeping Angels, only Crying Cartinis. ("Don't remember history. Whatever you do...don't remember history.")

Now I have an excuse to put up a new avatar.

[Eric83]

LMAO. I wonder how the actors really feel about this bullsh-t.

[ChitHappens]

Many of them have been in the business for a very long time, and we are not that much smarter than they are. The actors/performers know this is rotgut of the highest order, but what can they say? More than 1/2 this cast has never been subjected to this particular kind of "soap". I'm pretty sure that when they receive the scripts, they have to be looking for missing pages because it can't make sense to them why the character is acting a certain way or how they got from point A to B. Ratchet!

[OldGHFan]

I'm sure Roger Howarth is fine with it. After all, his old soap was cancelled and he now has a starring role on General Hospital. In fact, he gets more airtime than all of the other GH actors. What's not to be happy about?

[Soapsuds]

Is RH getting two pay checks?? Im sure he is for such lousy acting....ugh
